THE funeral of much loved family man Andy Fulford, who died after his car was involved in an accident with a cement lorry, is to be held at West Wilts Crematorium on March 8 at 3.15pm.

Mr Fulford, 47, from Potterne, near Devizes, was a stalwart of Potterne Cricket Club, and was married with five children.

His wife Caroline said after his death: "It is with great sadness that on January 10, Andrew Fulford – my husband and father to our five beautiful and very brave children – lost his fight for life.

“Andy passed away in Southampton General Hospital as a result of the terrible injuries he sustained in the A360 road collision on 20 December.

“Andy was the most gentle person you could ever hope to meet and his life was centred around his family.

“The support we have received from our family and friends has been overwhelming."

Donations will be taken at the funeral for Southampton General Hospital. A wake will be held at Potterne Social Club.
